Installation usually takes between five and eight hours depending on hair density and twist size. We recommend scheduling a full-day appointment and arriving with clean, detangled hair for the best experience.

Arrive with freshly washed, conditioned, and fully detangled hair. Avoid heavy oils or conditioners before your appointment. If you need a wash, book a prep service to ensure optimal installation results.

With proper care, small kinky twists typically last six to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, maintenance routines, and activity level; a touch-up or refresh may be recommended around six weeks.

When installed by experienced stylists with attention to tension and parting, small twists are protective. Minimize tight styling, maintain scalp care, and remove twists on schedule to reduce risk of breakage or edge stress.
